00:55:29 <GizmoBot> daBomb69 is the genius that forgot to include Perl in Perl Portable xP
00:56:12 <NiveusLuna> how the heck did that happen?
00:56:46 <Gizmokid2005> NiveusLuna: what?
00:57:03 <NiveusLuna> forgetting to include perl in perl portable
00:57:21 <daBomb69> It was like, 3 AM when I compiled. :P
00:57:58 <Gizmokid2005> ahh
00:57:59 <Gizmokid2005> yeah
00:58:23 <daBomb69> And yet... the final product was still like, 70mb... :P
00:58:37 * daBomb69 thinks it's that he included like, 1/2 the perl binaries... :P
01:08:15 <sar3th> daBomb69: fix it :P
01:08:43 <daBomb69> sar3th, I will, after I've got gedit and bash done.
01:08:57 <sar3th> :D
01:09:00 <daBomb69> And... I still need to fix some stuff on the ProjectX launcher I was doing...
01:09:25 <daBomb69> so, Perl is #4
01:09:26 <daBomb69> :P
01:10:22 *** gluxon has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
01:10:39 <ChrisMorgan> There, I've done my internet check-in... which makes checking in at the airport faster, and means Grandma and Grandpa don't have to get up an hour and a half earlier to take me (they say get there 90 minutes early after internet checkin, but 3 hours early otherwise). :-)
01:11:12 <daBomb69> Good job ChrisMorgan ^_^
01:11:12 <daBomb69> :P
01:11:17 <sar3th> cool ChrisMorgan :)
01:12:01 <ChrisMorgan> And now I'm about to head off for my LAST EXAM EVER! ... Well, for this year anyway.

01:15:30 <ChrisMorgan> Wow. I don't think I've managed to have 90 tabs in Firefox before.
01:15:41 <daBomb69> Only?
01:15:50 <ChrisMorgan> I don't have 90 tabs.
01:15:54 <ChrisMorgan> I have 89.
01:16:00 <daBomb69> lol
01:16:05 <daBomb69> ChrisMorgan, ctrl+t!
01:16:05 <daBomb69> :P
01:16:12 <ChrisMorgan> That's 'cos I just closed one
01:16:19 <daBomb69> ooh
01:16:41 <ChrisMorgan> 79...
01:17:13 <Gizmokid2005> I usually limit out at about 20 or so, MAX
01:17:17 <NiveusLuna> holy freaking crap
01:17:28 <NiveusLuna> how do you have enough memory for 89 tabs?
01:17:32 <ChrisMorgan> My Ctrl+W fingers are twitching...
01:17:34 <NiveusLuna> WHY DO YOU HAVE 89 TABS?
01:17:51 <ChrisMorgan> NiveusLuna: oh come, come come. It only uses 1.3GB of RAM.
01:17:54 <Gizmokid2005> NiveusLuna: if they are relatively simple pages, it doesn't take much memory.
01:18:18 <Gizmokid2005> I've limited FF at about 1.7GB memory before it was unusable.
01:18:37 <ChrisMorgan> It's perfectly usable when on 1.3GB for me now
01:18:45 <NiveusLuna> >_<
01:18:47 <ChrisMorgan> That was with about 75 tabs.
01:18:50 <ChrisMorgan> Now I have about 60.
01:18:54 <NiveusLuna> that's more than most of the computers in my house *have*
01:18:58 <ChrisMorgan> 946MB
01:19:27 <NiveusLuna> one has 512, one has 320, one has 1 gig, and one has 2 gig
01:19:27 <Gizmokid2005> haha NiveusLuna, I've got 4GB, so it's not an issue for me.
01:19:31 <ChrisMorgan> OK, 53 tabs and that's all I'm killing just now
01:19:35 <ChrisMorgan> I only have 2GB
01:19:58 <ChrisMorgan> And only one memory slot so I can't expand really as they don't have 4GB chunks of notebook RAM
01:20:10 <Gizmokid2005> ChrisMorgan: wow...that's pretty much unheard of
01:20:13 <ChrisMorgan> Or rather if they do it's waaay to expensive
01:20:18 <Gizmokid2005> I've NEVER seen a desktop or laptop with only 1 memory bank.
01:20:31 <Gizmokid2005> sometimes they are hidden...but never seen one with that.
01:20:34 <ChrisMorgan> Quite a few notebooks do; however I was surprised when I opened it to see that.
01:20:46 <ChrisMorgan> If it has more, they're *very* well hidden.
01:21:05 <ChrisMorgan> Still, I can't complain... when I bought it on eBay it was advertised with 1GB of RAM rather than 2.

03:32:34 <OliverK> i logged into my router with firefox and it just dumped me at the welcome page
03:32:54 * OliverK loves the hacks that involves using a different browser to bypass the password
03:33:02 <daBomb69> lol
03:33:06 <daBomb69> OliverK, how u do that? :P
03:33:14 <OliverK> i don't know

03:33:22 <daBomb69> ok then... :P
03:33:23 <OliverK> i've never logged into the my router with firefox before
03:33:28 <daBomb69> :o
03:33:29 <OliverK> and it should ask for a password
03:33:35 <OliverK> but it didn't . . .
03:33:49 <daBomb69> O_o
03:33:51 <OliverK> oh well, i don't have wireless so the chances of somebody getting on my system is very low :D
03:34:00 <daBomb69> lol, nice. :P
03:34:10 * daBomb69 does have wireless

03:34:53 <OliverK> hey, now it asked for a password
03:35:12 <daBomb69> lol, nice.
03:35:24 <OliverK> i actually wnet somewhere there was a setting to change
03:35:30 <daBomb69> :o
03:35:31 <daBomb69> lol
03:35:46 <OliverK> what set of private ip's do you want to use, subnetts, etc
03:37:24 <OliverK> um, 192..168.0.0 255.255.0.0
03:37:28 <OliverK> private ip + subnet
03:37:34 <daBomb69> mmhm...
03:37:51 <OliverK> the 255.255.0.0 means that the first two set of numbers have to match exactly
03:38:08 <OliverK> who was it i explained ip to?
03:41:01 <daBomb69> not me. :P
03:41:09 <OliverK> lol

21:11:57 <Juan__> hello?
21:12:07 <ChrisMorgan> Juan__: hello, can we help you?
21:12:49 <Juan__> hi, I'm very interested in downloading this software for firefox, but want some clarification on some concerns.
21:13:16 *** SergentSiler is now known as SrgSiler|AFK
21:15:45 <Juan__> primarily, i was thinking of a way to use my current Scrapbook extension on another profile located on another computer. It doesn't have internet access. I'd like to know if this Portable apps can be applied to this, so that when I access the other profile with no internet, I can view my Scrapbook settings (captured webpages) on that offline accont....is that possible?
21:16:34 <ChrisMorgan> Firefox Portable behaves in most respects just like Firefox.
21:16:49 <ChrisMorgan> About the only main difference is that you can't have more than one profile.
21:17:11 <Juan__> originally, i was looking to find a way to download just the Scrapbook extension by itself, but discovered that i wouldn't be able to apply my Scrapbook settings and captured webpages
21:18:23 <Juan__> so is there anyway i could use Portable apps to accomplish this, ?
21:18:50 <ChrisMorgan> Do it with one profile
21:19:44 <Juan__> ok...........thanks..........could u explain to me y it cannot work with multiple profiles?
21:20:51 <ChrisMorgan> It's a technical limitation of the technique used for portability.
21:21:30 <Juan__> ok..........have u heard of/experimented with this firefox ext: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9452
21:21:51 <Juan__> if so, could it interact with PA?
21:22:05 <Juan__> PA-portable apps
21:22:26 <ChrisMorgan> Very few don't work
21:22:45 <ChrisMorgan> And if they don't, it's generally because they've been badly coded
21:22:48 *** xangua has quit ("http://is.gd/3HjzP no se si reírme o sentir lástima")
21:23:38 <Juan__> you mean, PA isn't compatible with the main firefox extensions?
21:23:38 <gluxon> Juan__: Yep, that should work :)
21:23:42 <gluxon> SHOULD
21:23:53 <gluxon> Juan__: It's compatible with MOST.
21:24:06 <gluxon> Except, some are poorly coded like Chris said :)
21:24:48 <Juan__> ok, so PA-portable Apps, is completely compatible with Scrapbooks? have u tried intergrating it?
21:24:56 <ChrisMorgan> Very few *don't* work
21:25:19 <gluxon> WDK
21:25:27 <gluxon> *We Don't Know* :P
21:25:37 <gluxon> Test it :)
21:26:46 <Juan__> ok, could u be kind enough to explain how i would do use PA in the case of transfering a firefox profile containing Scrapbook backups?
21:27:09 <Juan__> I read thru everything, but it's more helpful to me to have a live person explain in more detail.
21:27:59 <Juan__> would be nice if there were tutorial videos for PA..........as some peeps learn visually better than rhetorically........but maybe in the future??
21:28:24 <Juan__> this sounds like a very promising software, I just wanna be TOTALLY sure of what I'm doing.
21:29:07 <Juan__> and Chris + Gluxon, I admire your intellect and willingness to help me out, especially demonstrating patience.
21:29:37 <gluxon> Wait, let me read :)

21:30:37 <gluxon> Juan__: Don't worry about incompatible extensions.
21:30:53 <gluxon> If you ever come across something like that (I NEVER have.)
21:31:00 <gluxon> Then report it to the developer.
21:31:38 <gluxon> The link you posted looks like it's compatible. Just backing up and stuff.
21:32:40 <Juan__> ok, gotcha.........but can PA do the same thing w/o interacting with that posted extension?
21:35:18 <gluxon> ?
21:36:28 <gluxon> About 99.5% of the time you'll find compatible add-ons :)
21:36:46 <gluxon> FirefoxPortable.exe doesn't not have to interact with it.
21:36:47 <Juan__> sorry.........i'll simplify: so PA would be good for transporting the executable files of firefox extensions which can be downloaded on another firefox profile w/o internet connection?
21:38:38 <gluxon> Uh... I guess?
21:38:54 <gluxon> You can DL the extention files.
21:39:01 <gluxon> as a .xpi
21:39:07 <gluxon> Which non-internet firefox install can use.
21:39:30 <Juan__> ok, once i install PA, how do i do that?
21:40:01 <gluxon> Don't really need PortableApps.com to do it :/
21:40:07 <gluxon> On any FF.
21:40:12 <gluxon> Right click on the download link.
21:40:19 <gluxon> And select (Save Link as).
21:40:34 <gluxon> You should have downloaded a .jar or .xpi file.
21:40:41 <gluxon> Use that and copy it to a drive.
21:40:53 <ChrisMorgan> xpi
21:40:55 <ChrisMorgan> Never jar
21:41:11 <Juan__> thanks for that important advice......i was worried about that.
21:41:13 <sar3th> jar are java executables. potentially malicious
21:41:15 <gluxon> Then just get the other firefox to identify it by draggin it into the extention install window.
21:41:18 <gluxon> No.
21:41:25 <gluxon> I've seen extentions with .jar files.
21:41:31 <gluxon> Instead of .xpi.
21:41:45 <ChrisMorgan> gluxon: are you thinking of themes?
21:41:58 <gluxon> ...
21:42:01 <gluxon> I think I am :P
21:42:02 <Juan__> so, in order to open the xpi, I just right click on it and tell it to open with firefox, then it will install automatically?
21:42:18 <ChrisMorgan> Yes
21:42:31 <ChrisMorgan> Just drag it into the Firefox window is easiest
21:42:33 <gluxon> Or drag it into the install add-on install winow :)
21:43:09 <Juan__> I am actually only thinking of extensions..........like, if I want to share them w/ a friend on their comp., I can take my portable extensions with me, and installl them on their FF profile.
21:43:52 <Juan__> wow!! that's a sweet way to do it!! Thanks!! i prefer that method better
21:44:08 <ChrisMorgan> Sure. That won't have any of your settings, of course
21:45:00 <Juan__> ChrisMorgan- ok, I understand that.........
21:45:14 <Juan__> have any of you personally used Scrapbook?
21:45:31 <gluxon> Nope.
21:45:33 <gluxon> :P
21:45:39 <Juan__> hehehe
21:45:39 <Juan__> oik
21:45:43 <ChrisMorgan> Not I
21:46:13 <Juan__> so what advantages do you guys use PA for?
21:46:13 <Juan__> personally..
21:46:29 <gluxon> ...
21:46:31 <gluxon> Portable :P
21:46:43 <ChrisMorgan> Now that I have my own laptop, very little. I still develop here though :-)
21:46:59 <gluxon> No whiny dads going "GET THIS APP OFF MY COMPUTER!!!"
21:47:47 <Juan__> hehehe
21:48:16 <gluxon> BTW, ChrisMorgan, get your butt on my desktop and fix subversion! :D
21:48:17 <Juan__> are there any other advantages you to have encountered that are not listed on the PA website?
21:48:30 <gluxon> Uh.... IDK.
21:48:32 <gluxon> Let me think :P
21:49:22 <sar3th> Juan__: there are lots of usage scenarios for portableapps. in our school, the admin was too lazy to create msi packages to install apps on the computers, so he put some portable versions on a network drive
21:49:38 <gluxon> ...
21:49:41 <gluxon> seriously?
21:49:55 <sar3th> yes
21:49:58 <gluxon> O_
21:49:59 <gluxon> O
21:50:05 <gluxon> Smiley fail :P
21:50:16 <sar3th> i laughed very hard when i found them
21:50:37 <gluxon> ... lol!!! :D
21:51:02 <gluxon> The admin at my school won't get rid of Windows :P
21:51:12 <gluxon> I begged her like twice :P
21:51:15 <Juan__> so he put portable versions, that were separate, not packaged?
21:51:30 <sar3th> yes, he put installed portable versions there
21:51:41 <Juan__> sweet!!
21:51:46 <gluxon> No.... that's dumb :P
21:51:57 <Juan__> ok, nevermind.
21:51:58 <Juan__> hehehe
21:52:20 <Juan__> y's that?
21:52:28 <gluxon> Cause... it's just no right...
21:52:31 <gluxon> *not
21:52:43 <Juan__> ? howso?
21:52:57 <gluxon> i don't know :/
21:52:58 <Juan__> isn't it just a matter of conveniency?
21:53:10 <gluxon> Uh.. I guess?
21:53:17 <gluxon> Well, it's not configured to the system.
21:53:38 <Juan__> ok........so are all PA accessible only on this website?
21:53:53 <sar3th> Juan__: the official ones, yes
21:54:07 <Juan__> so what about MS office 07?
21:54:30 <Juan__> or a closely-associated one?
21:54:31 <sar3th> Juan__: that would be a violation of MS' EULA
21:54:48 <Juan__> oh ok, so would OpenSource do?
21:55:36 <Juan__> i'm sorry, i meant: OpenOffice
21:55:39 <sar3th> use openoffice instead ;)
21:55:42 <Juan__> or smthin like that
21:55:53 <gluxon> Nope.
21:56:06 <Juan__> ok
21:56:09 <gluxon> OpenOffice.org is a freedom software program :)
21:56:26 <Juan__> can u give me 5 examples of portable apps you 3 use?
21:56:28 <gluxon> It's a GNU supporter unlike "M!cr@s$x"
21:56:32 <gluxon> Uh..
21:56:50 <gluxon> #1 Eclipse Portable <-- Best there is :)
21:57:01 <gluxon> #2 Pidgin Portable <-- Running it now :D
21:57:24 <gluxon> #3 <-- Firefox Portable
21:57:27 <ChrisMorgan> gluxon: you're so biased... gVim and Inkscape Portable are both better than either of those ;-)
21:57:39 <gluxon> .. :P
21:57:51 <gluxon> My Eclipse Portable can do anything those dumb program can! :D
21:57:57 <gluxon> *programs
21:57:57 <Juan__> if it's any help, I believe you all
21:57:58 <Juan__> hehehe
21:58:05 <gluxon> No!!
21:58:10 <gluxon> See what you did Chris?
21:58:12 <Juan__> so mainstream apps don't count?
21:58:14 <ChrisMorgan> gluxon: no it can't. Text editing... block selection for example?
21:58:14 <gluxon> You brainwashed him! :D
21:58:25 <gluxon> Eclipse can edit anything! :D
21:58:28 <Juan__> hehehehe
21:58:29 <ChrisMorgan> And as for vector graphics work... give up on Eclipse, use Inkscape :-)
21:58:33 <Juan__> u guys r funny
21:58:40 <gluxon> thanks :)
21:58:49 <gluxon> But still, Eclipse rules :P
21:59:02 <gluxon> I bet I can find some svg plugin for Eclipse ;P
21:59:06 <Juan__> what does Eclipse do in a nutshell?
21:59:12 <ChrisMorgan> Wait... I wasn't trying to be funny ;-)
21:59:16 <ChrisMorgan> Eclipse is an IDE
21:59:16 <Juan__> u guys have me so interested!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
21:59:20 <gluxon> Ha!
21:59:22 <gluxon> http://www.myeclipseide.com/modules/ContentExpress/img_repository/docs/41M2/ime_image_perspective.jpg
21:59:23 <ChrisMorgan> gVim is a text editor
21:59:30 <gluxon> Let's see your dumb gVim do that! :P
21:59:31 <ChrisMorgan> Inkscape is a vector graphics editor
21:59:59 <ChrisMorgan> gluxon: I could work in XPM for things like that.
22:00:11 <Juan__> hey Gluxon, THANKS FOR THAT!! I learn A LOT BETTER with visual examples
22:00:14 <gluxon> :/
22:00:15 <ChrisMorgan> gVim's XPM support is something which I've never seen in any other text editor at all
22:00:23 <ChrisMorgan> Juan__: that's not what Eclipse is for.
22:00:28 <ChrisMorgan> It's a text editor mainly
22:00:36 <sar3th> eclipse is slow. it's java based. not in my definition of portable gluxon
22:00:57 <gluxon> ... WTF?
22:00:58 <gluxon> NO?
22:01:19 <Juan__> text editor for what? just photos?
22:01:26 <gluxon> ChrisMorgan: Nope, it's got a built in Web Browser :D
22:01:36 <gluxon> sar3th: So? It's still portable!
22:01:39 <gluxon> :D
22:01:45 <ChrisMorgan> Juan__: Eclipse is a programming IDE
22:01:47 <gluxon> Juan__: No, it can do ANYTHING :D
22:01:54 <ChrisMorgan> sar3th: hi-five! ;-)
22:02:06 <sar3th> gluxon: it needs java to be installed on your client
22:02:13 <Juan__> i think i follow
22:02:17 <gluxon> So?
22:02:42 <ChrisMorgan> Java is bloated... Eclipse is bloated...
22:02:42 <Juan__> so, could i use Eclipse to develop firefox extensions?
22:02:43 <sar3th> it's not running out of the box
22:02:54 <gluxon> Juan__: Uh... yeah :)
22:02:59 <gluxon> And browse the internet :D
22:03:03 <gluxon> And edit images :)
22:03:15 <gluxon> And word process :D
22:03:26 <ChrisMorgan> gluxon: that's /really/ stretching it
22:03:33 <sar3th> and, as ChrisMorgan said, java IS slow..running byte code in a virtual machine is never a fast as a real binary
22:03:33 <Juan__> so u're sayin that I can edit any webpage within Eclipse???????/
22:03:40 <gluxon> lol :D
22:03:55 <gluxon> Juan__: Yeah, but only for yourself, you can't change a website :D
22:04:01 <gluxon> So only you could see it :(
22:04:09 <gluxon> Which means "No google hacking :P"
22:04:19 <ChrisMorgan> sar3th: I didn't say it was slow... you did.
22:04:20 <Juan__> oh no, that's KEWLEO!!
22:04:26 <sar3th> oh okay
22:04:31 <gluxon> Eclipse is NOT slow.
22:04:32 <sar3th> then i said it's slow
22:04:36 <sar3th> no difference
22:04:37 <gluxon> Even on USB.
22:04:52 <Juan__> i wouldn't offend the webmaster like that........too much respect for all their hard work
22:04:56 <sar3th> gluxon: i can only agree to that when running it from my ramdisk. from every other location, it is indeed slow
22:04:57 <gluxon> I know :D
22:05:19 <gluxon> Why do you people have to insult the best program ever made? :P
22:05:30 <gluxon> No, scratch that :P
22:05:30 <Juan__> hehehehe
22:05:39 <gluxon> Why do you people have to insult a program maker?
22:05:41 <gluxon> :P
22:05:52 <Juan__> ok, so what else is arguable comparable to Eclipse?
22:06:04 <Juan__> arguably*
22:06:06 <sar3th> gluxon: we are not insulting you, we don't think eclipse is portable due to its equirements
22:06:09 <sar3th> *requirements
22:06:23 <sar3th> no one says you've failed making eclipse portable
22:06:36 *** vatts is now known as vatts[off]
22:06:42 <gluxon> sar3th: WTF? How's it not portable? Just space limitations.
22:06:47 <sar3th> it's just that it can never be entirely portable, since it's written in java and thus depends on it
22:07:09 <gluxon> What are you talking about? Doesn't matter if it's in java, as long as it's on the drive.

22:07:43 <gluxon> ChrisMorgan: Let's see gVim compile Eclipse :P
22:07:48 <gluxon> lol :P
22:08:02 <sar3th> gluxon: to me, it is a very serious issue :P
22:08:03 <ChrisMorgan> gluxon: :compile
22:08:40 <gluxon> sar3th: Uh... --> X:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java <-- Ever heard of it? :P
22:09:04 <gluxon> We should stop :/
22:09:09 <sar3th> gluxon: yes, i have, i heard it's still not running the way it should :P
22:09:12 <sar3th> but i agree
22:09:23 <gluxon> It's going into more of an argument than a friendly debate :P
22:09:23 <sar3th> flaming about java is not helping
22:09:25 <Juan__> hey guys, random question about PA: can I use it to preconfigured FF with like 10 extensions on a default profile and then install them exactly that way on another comp?
22:09:37 <gluxon> Yeah :D
22:09:47 <gluxon> Just copy over the profile data :D
22:09:55 <gluxon> I can fetch the instructions if you want :D
22:10:17 <Juan__> PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE???? THAT WOULD BE SOOO HELPFUL!!!!!!!!!
22:10:21 <gluxon> :)
22:10:22 <gluxon> okay.
22:10:28 <sar3th> Juan__: you can copy over the entire firefox portable folder. all data and configuration is stored there. be careful with changing more than the drive letter though
22:11:07 <sar3th> it might result in errors
22:11:16 <gluxon> Just do the oposite of this --> http://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#local_profile
22:11:23 <sar3th> most apps handle drive letter changes correctly, but not when you move it on the drive
22:11:28 <gluxon> Instead of copying it to your Firefox Portable, copy it to your system.
22:11:37 <gluxon> Ah.
22:11:45 <ChrisMorgan> Juan__: that is, you can change the drive letter but avoid changing the directory where it is inside the drive
22:13:53 <Juan__> can u give me an example plz?
22:14:34 <Juan__> i think i understand, but an example would help clarify

22:27:52 <Juan__> oh, Sar3th, did you get the response to my last question:
22:28:11 <Juan__> <@ChrisMorgan> Juan__: that is, you can change the drive letter but avoid changing the directory where it is inside the drive [17:13] <Juan__> can u give me an example plz? [17:14] <Juan__> i think i understand, but an example would help clarify
22:29:55 <sar3th> oh sorry, i overread that Juan__
22:30:12 <sar3th> for example, you can copy X:\PortableFirefox to C:\PortableFirefox
22:30:41 <sar3th> but try to avoid things like copying X:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable to C:\firefox
22:32:11 <Juan__> gooooooooooooooooootchaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! thaat's what I thought it was, just wanted 2b sure
22:33:45 <Juan__> so, could i also preconfigure that FF-PA with my personal files, which means I'd have to include a folder within that FF-PA?
22:35:03 <sar3th> Juan__: every setting you set in ffp is saved within the folder of the application, so yes you could
